Tombs of the Sanhedrin

The Tombs of the Sanhedrin are located in a small park on the edge of Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox Sanhedria neighborhood. Shady paths link the many Second Temple era rock-cut tombs, a landmark the locals used to call “the Tombs of the Judges.” They have been venerated since the 15th century as the tombs of the members of the ancient Jewish council. The faithful place prayer notes in the tomb doorways.
